Remember, remember the 5th of November!

Ok, so no one was trying to blow up the House of Parliament, but the Murphysboro Lady Red Devils were most certainly explosive tonight in Harrisburg.

Tonight all across the state we had Sweet 16 Sectional Championships for Girls Volleyball; lets run through some of our local matches.

At the Harrisburg Class 2A Sectional, Murphysboro defeated Fairfield in straight sets, 25-21, 25-11. Murphysboro was led all around by future Saluki netter Jessica Whitehead. The Lady Devils move on to the Super-Sectional at Greenville this Saturday night.

One the other side of the Greenville Super, Freeburg defeated
Staunton 25-10, 25-4 at Columbia. Freeburg beat the Lady Devils earlier this season at the Mascoutah Tourney, 25-19, 28-26. Look for Murphysboro to be fired up heading into Greenville this Saturday night.

In class 1A, a team on the bubble of our coverage area was upset tonight at Red Hill. The Albion (Edwards Co.) Lady Lions, a favorite to make a run to Normal were beat by the Lady Pirates of Toledo (Cumberland) 22-25, 25-8, 23-25. Edwards Co. finishes the season with a record of 34-4.

Speaking of 30 win seasons, Benton finished with 30 wins after their loss to Murphysboro Tuesday night 23-25, 23-25.

Tomorrow we will have a small preview of the Greenville Class 2A Super-Sectional and the Albion (Edwards Co) Class 1A Super-Sectional, as well as an insight on the Boys and Girls State Cross Country Championships up at Detweiller Park in Peoria!

Everyone enjoy the rest of your night (or morning depending on when you read this); I have to hang the volleyball shirt up for the last time of 2009.
